'Game of Thrones' star Richard Madden teases "awesome" battle

Game of Thrones star Richard Madden has promised fans that the famous 'Battle of the Blackwater' will "be awesome".

The actor, who plays Robb Stark in the HBO series, said that the epic clash from George RR Martin's original novels will be faithfully recreated on screen.

"I'm really excited to see a certain battle that happens," he told E! News.

"Season one viewers were a bit mad that they didn't get to see enough of the battle, but anyone that missed out on the battle last year is not going to be disappointed with the battle this year. It's going to be awesome."

The 'Battle of the Blackwater' will take place in the ninth episode of Game of Thrones' second season, which airs on May 27 in the US.

The show currently airs Sundays at 9pm on HBO in the US and Mondays at 9pm on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
